Description
This book contains a listing of approximately 2,650 roots from the various North Waskashan lanugages, namely Heiltsuk (Bella Bella and Klemtu), Oowekyala (Rivers Inlet), Haisla (Kitimat) and Kwakwala (Alert Bay, Port Hardy, etc.). Each root is illustrated with lexical words from the language where it is represented, cognate words being brought together under a single entry and cross-referenced to each other as they occur at different points in the alphabetical order. The root list is preceded by concise phonologies of each language and an exposition of the techniques used to isolate roots in North Wakashan.
